Appears to have broken down after 2C03, as it should be doing 1R10 currently. I believe it's just broken down again as Chiltern's website is reporting that 2V10 has terminated at Harrow.

Update on 168004 as of (7/5/25):
Much of the insides have been removed and it's being rubbed down ready for the paint shop.

168004 has been stripped to it's bear minimum now. It looks naked haha.

Paths for a Crewe/Banbury swap are in for tomorrow. Will 168001 finally be returning, or will it be 004 already?
In other news, 168108 which was covering for a 68 this morning, broke at High Wycombe, and looks as though it will be skated back to Aylesbury, based on how long the ECS move is planned to take.

168004 is no where near ready. It's been stripped out and ready for painting as well. Probably 168001 because that's almost ready.

Is it definitely running? I don't think there is any 168s on Banbury depot to run the return.168004 is no where near ready. It's been stripped out and ready for painting as well. Probably 168001 because that's almost ready.

168001 does seem to have had a protracted time out of service - it's been about to leave Crewe for months!
